New Hampshire Governor John Lynch and Vermont Governor Jim Douglas are visiting the Ethan Allen plant where about 260 workers are expected to lose their jobs.
The company announced the pending layoffs last month regarding the Beecher Falls plant in Canaan.
The governors plan to discuss both states’ efforts to assist those workers today at 2 p.m.
The company has been one of the economic engines of northeastern Vermont, which has few manufacturing jobs, especially in the remote area along the Canada and New Hampshire borders.
